Holly was in my U.S. govt. class. She was always fun to be around, and she remains in my thoughts.

Ahhh Holly. She was my BESTIE for so many years. We traveled through elementary, middle and highschool together. I have so many fond memories of childhood that she is the center of . Days spent at the petstore with her, trips to slide rock and the cabins. Sleepovers and getting caught for "sneaking" out, even if it was just to the back yard.... hehe Unfortunately when we hit highschool we started parting ways as so many friends do.... but I loved her none the less and to this day find myself sharing stories about this beautiful person with my children and explaining how much they too will cherish the friendships they currently have, for life!

Holly was my very first friend in Kindergarten at Dexter School in Mrs.Shields class. I was nervous and shy and she came right up to me and asked if I wanted to be friends. She was such a funny person with such a unique sense of humor!! She is missed!!

Summer of 1991, was when I got to know Holly Windish. We met in summer school and we sat next to each other in class everday. After school, almost everyday we would do something together (since I had a car). Got to meet her nice parents at their Pet Store too. Holly was a caring, sharing, and loving individual. Will always cherish the memories we shared together. She helped me understand more about women and was a great example of one.
